Spanish bull run tradition comes to the U.S.

A long-time Spanish tradition where hundreds of people run in front of a group of bulls has now made its way to the U.S.

Saturday was the first of seven events that will take place throughout the country during the The Great Bull Run. Virginia was the first state to hold the bull run.

The tradition, originally from Spain, usually entails releasing about a dozen bulls on a specific street of a Spanish town. When the bulls are released, hundreds run in front of the bulls for a designated distance.
